WEST YOSEMITE
Redwood Rangers (7-1) (2-1) at Hanford Bullpups (8-0) (3-0)
Pag Meter Line Hanford -4
The winner will battle Memorial for the No 1 seed and the winner will be the leader in the club house for the West Yosemite League Championship. So much on the line.
The Rangers come in beating Golden West in a shoot 42-38. The GW Wing T ran all over the Rangers defense. Marcus Correia, scored the game winning 5-yard TD with 1 minute to go. Correia also scored on a 1-yard TD run. Ryan Rios hit Sam Olsen on a 8-yard TD pass. Malachi Aguilar, took back a kickoff for a 95-yard TD.

The X factor, Bullpups Juaron Watts-Brown is the more dangerous QB.
Other big X factors are..
*Both defenses are real good! Which defense will play better?
* Can the Rangers defense match up with the Bullpups speed?
* The Bullpups have the Pag Meter Student Athlete of the Week, Tyler Mello, at linebacker and he comes in as the best defensive player in the section. Can the Rangers block Tyler?
* Rangers QB Ryan Rios has to have a breakout game for the Rangers to win.
*This is the best defense that both offenses will see all year long.
* Who will win the turnover battle?
* Which offensive line will control the line scrimmage?
* Which team will make the big play in front of the big crowd? Hanford did
* Can the Bullpups slow down the best Tight End in the section Sam Olsen? Kind of
* Don’t go by last week’s game for Redwood. The Wing T is a different beast.
* The Rangers have to be able to pound the ball. They did but went away from it

FINAL OROSI 49 MINARETS 7

Riverdale Cowboys (6-2) (3-1) at Caruthers Blue Raiders (7-1) (4-0) 
Pag Meter Line Caruthers -7
This is for the West Sequoia League Championship.
The Cowboys are playing great football on both sides of the ball and will contend for the Division 6 championship.
The Blue Raiders are the No 1 team in division 5 and are rolling.
Both teams lost to powerhouses in week 1 and both have won 6 in a row.
The Cowboys lost to undefeated Yosemite and the Blue Raiders lost to Division 4 power Templeton.
The X factor and it’s simple, can the Cowboys slow down the Blue Raiders power running game? The Blue Raiders offense is close to the style of Yosemite so can the Cowboys strap it up because the Blue Boys will bring it.
This has got to be like a tennis match for Riverdale and they have to hold their serve and score almost every time they have the ball because the Blue Raiders plan on scoring on every drive.
